Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration
Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Consistent threat hunting and anomaly detection deliver valuable insights for network security management
In terms of improvement for Darktrace, pricing is the main concern. Pricing bothers me and this is one of the major factors when choosing a solution. When we get feedback from customers, that's the only felt need. When we factor in Darktrace, we do it only limited. We put it on where the perimeters and connections are, but still, some gray areas are left out, especially if we have multiple branches. We need Darktrace on each branch to get the data out, and I suggest having some kind of a centralized product that gets data from multiple sources to aggregate and provide the data.

Behavior analytics has improved insider threat detection and reduces false positives for our team
The best features LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] offers are its behavioral balancing, baselining, risk scoring, and correlation with SIEM events, and what stands out most is risk scoring, which gives clear visibility into which user behaviors are genuinely risky and helps our team to focus on the highest priority threats without drowning in noise. Risk scoring helps us to quickly identify which users' activity needs immediate attention by clearly ranking threats based on impact and likelihood; it changes our day-to-day operations by reducing time spent on low-risk alerts and allowing the team to prioritize investigations and response actions more effectively and consistently. LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to detect insider threats and compromised accounts earlier, resulting in better security visibility, reduced false positives, and faster investigations and response times, which helped the team operate more effectively with greater confidence. I observed a noticeable reduction in false positive alert volume, which shortened the investigation time per incident, improving the mean time to detect and respond, and helping identify high-risk user activities earlier, which prevented potential security incidents from escalating.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."
"The solution's stability is generally good."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are the tracing of unusual external emails and monitoring the local network."
"The product can scale."
"It is autonomous. So, it learns. It uses algorithms and AI to learn the common behavioral patterns on the network, and it is able to identify threats based on abnormal patterns."
"The NDR is good in their solution and they have NTG for email."
"It's beneficial to me and I can see that with more time and energy put into optimizing it and personalizing the unit, it can be much more powerful than the way I am using it now."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"You have visibility, and it will find anything that you miss with other solutions."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
"The capability of pinpointing specific cyber incidents is a valuable feature for us."
"Overall, this is a really good product and I recommend it."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis, and it's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"Overall, this is a really good product and I recommend it."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do."
"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"It would be good if they can include some endpoint protection for remote workers."
"The solution would benefit from automation. Currently, you have to know what you are searching for."
"The stability isn't good but I like the product."
"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"Darktrace needs to simplify most of the positive reports. We have to field all the positive reports, false positives, too."
"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"The only thing that I can think of that would improve it would be if they had a better visualization and a reporting portal."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"Better dashboarding. At the moment, the dashboard only has an hour."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"The solution is very expensive. There are also costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel it is fairly priced."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"This is an expensive solution."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Darktrace is pricey, but the price is reasonable for what the solution does, and it's comparable to other products."
"When it comes to large installations, it can be expensive, but for small accounts it's fine."
"I am using a demo of Darktrace for deployment and testing which is free."
"It is inexpensive considering what it can do and the competition."
"Darktrace is expensive. You can pay for the license yearly."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I'm unfamiliar with the exact cost, but we have a yearly license and had to pay for Darktrace's services before the deployment. The product is very expensive, so some organizations can't afford to pay the total amount directly, meaning they often seek a partner or pay in installments, which increases the price more."
"The pricing is subscription-based and it is high."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
